Practical Stoicism with Tanner Campbell
In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Tanner Campbell (host of the Practical Stoicism podcast). In the conversation, we discuss Tanner’s journey into Stoicism and the adventures of starting a podcast. However, much of the conversation focuses on the ancient concept known as oikeiosis. We talk about understanding one's role in the world through the circles of concern and the importance of caring for oneself and others.

“In Stoicism, when you say something is good, you mean it is virtuous; it's the only thing that ‘good’ can mean. In Stoicism, virtue is the only good because it's really the only thing that's yours to obtain. Your choices, your thoughts, your attitudes, your actions, those are all within your control.” — Tanner Campbell
